But that’s not all: it’s also the place where Alvin  and his brothers have the most of their adventures!  In the new episodes, when Alvin is paired with Simon for a science project, he accidentally creates a  potion that turns Theodore into a 30-foot giant! And at school, all the kids are obsessed with their  virtual dogs on their smart phones. But when all the phones wind up missing, Alvin is the one  blamed. But he’s decide to follow the clues to find the real culprit and clean his name!  Besides, Alvin is tired of seeing his celebrity status overshadowed by reality TV stars. So, he decides to  become one himself. But he’s not the only one going to desperate extents: hoping to impress her  fashion idol, Brittany takes up painting. But her idol only likes her art after Alvin accidentally ruins it.  Now Brittany thinks she's an artist ready for a big exhibition.  So join the fun Monday to Friday at 14:20 CAT on Nicktoons and enjoy the brand new episodes  marathons on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 March at 8:05 CAT and 13:30 CAT respectively.
